The Math Behind It

The CET solves the Net Present Value function NPV = Σ (Cashflows / (1 + r)^t) = 0 using Newton-Raphson IRR mapping.

If a bank lends you $50k at 1.5%, but immediately deducts $850 for processing, you only walked away with $49,150. However, your monthly interest is still compounding against the $50k. This IRR mapping establishes your final effective loss parameter.

Example

Bank A offers 1.5% with $100 in setup fees. Bank B offers 1.4% with $1,500 in setup fees. The CET algorithm proves that, often, the 'higher' base rate is mathematically cheaper.
